The Mountain Giants of the Misty Mountains are by far the largest creatures to walk Middle-earth, surpassing even the Ents in size and strength. They are rarely seen, however, and not many recorded sightings exist. Perhaps the most memorable sighting occured during the passage of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins and the company of Dwarves on their trek to Erebor. The party was kept awake at night due to the Giants, who tossed boulders at each other throughout the night. Now, a handful of these Giants have joined Sauron under the promise of more "interesting" enemies to throw their boulders at. Woe be unto those caught under a Giant when it falls, as it is heavy enough to kill a troll by accident.
